Yellow Chartreuse

Chartreuse is an aromatic liqueur, originally made by French
Carthusian monks. It is made from a mixture of 130 different herbs,
and is aged on oak barrels. Chartreuse come in two varieties,
green and yellow.

Green Chartreuse gets its green color from the addition of
chlorophyll. It is higher proof, drier and more spicy than the yellow
variant.

Yellow Chartreuse is made with the addition of honey, and is
colored pale yellow with saffron. It is lighter and sweeter in flavor
and is lower proof than the green variant.

Classic cocktails usually call for yellow Chartreuse, while the
green version is more popular nowadays.
